Liu Yu couldn't help swallowing. He had been in a fit of rage all night, and seeing a table full of vegetarian dishes at home made it even harder for him to eat.
He didn't even touch the food. The more he thought about the smell he had caught earlier, the more he felt like he was about to faint from craving.
What made him even angrier than his family eating meat while his own could only have vegetarian food was that Yun Jianzhou was even showing off!
Liu Yu was so angry that his insides were about to explode. A gentleman never leaves a score unsettled. If he didn't teach the Yun family a lesson, they would really have no idea of their own limits!
Liu Yu lay on the kang, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep. Finally, he thought he might as well not sleep. He must go and cause trouble for the Yun family!
So he quietly got off the kang, put on his shoes, threw on a coat, and slipped out of the house.
The lights in the Yun family's house were already out. Liu Yu knew that the Yun family was always thrifty and went to bed early. He guessed they were probably already chatting with Morpheus.
Liu Yu circled around the door. Hearing that it was quiet inside, he climbed over the Yun family's courtyard wall.
He looked around, wanting to cause some damage in the Yun family's yard. But the Yun family was always very cautious. Their valuable things were all kept inside the house.
Especially since they had just gotten rich recently, they really didn't have any valuable items.
Liu Yu felt extremely disappointed. He wondered if there was no outlet for his anger.
He felt a tightness in his chest. He casually picked up a pebble and threw it at the Yun family's window glass.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu hadn't eaten dinner that night, so he was weak all over. The pebble missed and hit a small sapling planted beside it.
Half of the already sparse leaves on the sapling were knocked off by Liu Yu. Looking closer, he found that the sapling was also knocked crooked. An idea immediately popped into Liu Yu's mind.
Didn't the Yun family cherish these saplings like the apple of their eye?
Once, someone had watered the saplings with boiling water and killed them, so they had planted the trees in the yard. What if the ones in the yard were all gone? How could they get rich then?
Liu Yu gave a sneaky laugh. He walked around the Yun family's yard. Seeing a small hoe placed in the corner, he picked it up and started digging out the newly planted saplings with all his might.
One by one, those poor little saplings were dug out before they even had a chance to take root.
Watching the saplings fall one after another, Liu Yu felt extremely gratified.
Serves them right! This is their retribution!
He not only wanted to dig out all these saplings but also break them all, crush their roots completely so that they could never plant them again!
The more Liu Yu thought about it, the more excited he became. He buried his head and got to work, not noticing that there was movement in the once quiet house.
Yun Que'er woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did it sound like there were footsteps outside?
Yun Que'er quickly sat up and took a look. Through the thin curtain, she could indeed see a sneaky figure outside.
Could it be the person who had killed their saplings before and was back again?
The still sleepy Yun Que'er immediately woke up. She quickly pushed Yun Fujin beside her.
"Brother, brother, wake up!"
"What's going on..." Yun Fujin opened his sleepy eyes.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Yun Que'er whispered.
She leaned close to Yun Fujin's ear. "There seems to be someone in our yard."
"Someone?" Yun Fujin propped himself up and took a look. He could also vaguely see a figure outside.
It seemed that a thief had come.
Yun Fujin quickly woke up Yun Jianzhou beside him and got him up.
When Yun Jianzhou heard that the person who had caused damage was here, he immediately perked up.
"Good! I've been worrying about not being able to catch this guy, and now he's come right to our doorstep." Yun Jianzhou rolled up his sleeves as he got out of bed barefoot.
He had to be quiet so as not to startle the person outside, and then catch him red - handed!
The three siblings tiptoed to the kitchen and stared intently at the person outside through the crack of the door.
The moonlight was hazy, making it hard to see clearly, but they could vaguely tell that it was a familiar figure.
"Liu Yu?" Yun Que'er frowned.
She had suspected before if Liu Kui had been the one who had killed their saplings, but then she thought it didn't make sense.
After all, Liu Kui had been busy being interrogated those days, and he already had so many troubles of his own. How could he have the time and energy to go to their field and cause damage?
But seeing Liu Yu now, Yun Que'er was a bit confused.
Could it be that Liu Kui had still found the time to instruct his son to do such sneaky things when his own family was in big trouble? Then Liu Kui really didn't care about his son at all.
Other people treated their children like precious treasures, but Liu Kui always made his son take the lead.
"This scoundrel!" Yun Jianzhou whispered angrily. "Brother, wait. I'll pin him down in a moment, then take him home and talk to his father!"
Yun Jianzhou gently latched the door. Just as he was about to open the door for a surprise attack, Yun Yi from the west room suddenly came out.
She had been awakened in her sleep by the footsteps in the kitchen. She thought there was a thief.
Coming out, she only saw three dark figures at the door and was so scared that she let out a scream.
"Ah!"
Yun Que'er's eyes widened. This Yun Yi! She didn't wake up earlier or later, but just now!
Liu Yu outside also heard the scream. He dropped what was in his hand and ran away as fast as he could.
Yun Jianzhou was anxious. He yanked open the door, roared "Stop!" and rushed out.
Yun Que'er gave Yun Fujin a push. "Brother, hurry up!"
Yun Fujin dashed out of the door like the wind, leaving Yun Yi, who was still in a daze, behind.
"What are you guys doing?"
Yun Que'er turned to look at Yun Yi with a speechless expression and let out a long sigh.
"Third sister, you've ruined everything."
Liu Yu ran back the way he came, straight towards the wall. No one knew how his bulky body could be as agile as a monkey at this moment. He climbed up the wall in a few steps.
Yun Jianzhou was eager to catch the man and also wanted to climb over the wall. But he had forgotten that he hadn't put on his shoes in order not to make too much noise.
As soon as he stepped on the wall, his foot was scratched by something. The pain made him suck in a breath of cold air. He hugged his foot and wailed.
Looking up at Liu Yu who was almost over the wall, he roared.
"Liu Yu! You wait for me! I'll beat you to a pulp today!"
Liu Yu, his heart pounding, turned to look back. Seeing Yun Jianzhou's right foot bleeding, he immediately climbed over the wall.
He didn't care how Yun Jianzhou was threatening him below. He just focused on running for his life. He quickly jumped off the wall and fled.
Yun Jianzhou was anxious. He quickly stood up, but as soon as his foot touched the ground, he let out an agonized cry.
At this time, Yun Fujin, who had found the key, had already unlocked the front gate of their house and rushed out.
Yun Que'er walked out of the house, looking at Yun Jianzhou with a black - faced expression.
"Second brother, this is our own home. Why are you climbing over the wall? Go through the front gate!"
